So for now I have a writeup I'm sending out, not many inquiries but I'd rather say 'here's a ton of info' and then let them digest it and if they choose to, send an application in. Anyone bored and want to read it over and give imput? I'm kinda annoyed, a breeder not far from here is a vet, and breeds borders, and on her website has three girls - one ofa fair, one mildly displastic and one moderately displastic. Litters planned out of all three! Sigh. Hard to educate when the vets do that crap.....

What are the OFA ratings? I used to be a stickler for only breeding OFA good or excellent dogs but a couple of brilliant breeders have really encouraged me that there is more to a dog than what meets the eye. Breeding up, breeding right, and breeding without throwing out the baby with the bath-water is a lot more important than my original thought process.

I know exactly which breeder you're talking about. Her dogs are fantastic workers but the hip dysplasia stuff makes me uneasy (and I'm not even planning on a BC for a long while). Luckily I don't have to buy from her if I do end up wanting a nice working BC.

I looked them up. One is a prelim fair, the other two are both moderately displastic (but on her website, she has one as moderate, one as mild). Relatives that are listed, some are also displastic. I have nothing against using an ofa fair myself, but wouldn't do fair to fair, not in borders where there are lots of goods and excellents (unless the dogs impressed the heck out of me otherwise!).

Also, unrelated to info, for the love of all that is holy, do NOT add music or crazy flash/animations to your site! Drives me nuts and immediately makes me question the quality of the breeder tbh.

Oh of course not, don't be silly. I do however plan to cover everything with crappy poor res images of flags and hearts as a background, use neon print on black for the text and refer to the church way of life.

That's ok right?
